Look for me in Rainbows Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky. In the morning sunrise when all the world is new, Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you. Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky. In the evening sunset, when all the world is through, Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you. It won't be forever, the day will come and then My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again. Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky. Every waking moment, and all your whole life through Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you. Just wish me to be near you, And I'll be there with you. We would like to offer our deepest condolences and prayer to the family members of those who our Welsh Home Care Team have had both the privilege and honor in taking care of during their final stay with us in DECEMBER. May good memories offer you comfort always. Welsh Home Staff IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO PASSED Helen T. Passed 12/4/2014 Olga B. Passed 12/8/2014 Andrew O. Passed 12/12/2014 Barbara S.

I would like to start by thanking everyone for welcoming me with open arms and making the transition into my new position easy and enjoyable. I have been a nurse for many years and started my career at the Cleveland Clinic working on a cardiac step down unit. After years of working in the hospital I found my passion in long term care. I worked my way up the management ladder first by being a weekend supervisor then to an Assistant Director of Nursing and finally to my ultimate goal of Director of Nursing. I am currently enrolled at Grand Canyon University working toward my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. In my spare time I enjoy fishing, woodworking, gardening and am a collector of nutcrackers. I look forward to being a part of this great team here at the Welsh Home and having all of you as a part of my family. If you should have any concerns or need anything, please do not hesitate to come see me. I am here for you.

I was so very touched by all the kind words. I wanted to say “Wait, you must be talking about someone else!” I never saw myself in the way they described. the Mayor was a very The presence of special honor. She is a very special person. The” Memories” book is awesome! It really touched my heart and the feeling is renewed every time I read it. The gift of my dove necklace with diamond chips from the Department Heads is so very meaningful to me. The dove represents the Holy Spirit to me and when I was very young I felt the Holy Spirit guided me then and will again. And I love the music box that plays Danny Boy. I shall always cherish the good wishes of each resident. I didn’t know they recognized my “clicking shoes”. And the staff will forever remain in my heart. And I will sing their praises to everyone as the best, most dedicated and extraordinary employees I have ever known. And all the service providers who were present have been so special to me. I loved working with them. I could feel so much love and good will in the Welsh Home that day and pray that it continues.
